Feel free to have a look at
I’m on holiday, so I watched the sunrise at the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia. Would definitely recommend.
Sabrina the Teenager Witch - the one from the 90s. It’s super corny but my daughter loves it, so we watch an episode or two after dinner.
CopLand (1997) - An iconic cast doing what they do best. Stallone as Sheriff Freddy was fantastic.
The Drop (2014) - The late, great James Gandolfini supporting Tom Hardy in a well thought out gangster drama.
Oblivion (2013) - Tom Cruise plays a drone technician in a post-alien-invasion Earth. Olga Kurylenko is the most beautiful woman. Entertaining.
The Ghost and Mrs Muir (1947) - A feel-good ghost story about dying alone (somehow).
Prisoners (2013) - Hugh Jackman and Terrance Howard have a real rough week, with Jake Gyllenhaal giving a masterclass as the blinking detective.
Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) - Nicholas Cage gets his balls blown off because he thought about having sex with a woman whose chin could beat Jay Leno’s in thumb wrestling. Movie was and hour and a half too long (runtime 1.43)

unfortunately wheel of time. I can’t keep from wanting it to be better. I really don’t get how that ip took so long for something and finally when it gets done it diverges so far from the source material.
This is on my list. I’ve never read the books, and I’m not generally into fantasy (other than GoT). Is it worth watching?
My feeling is if you never read the books its likely going to seem like a nice fantasy series and you likely won’t miss the inconsistency due to some changes but you might if your a detailed oriented person although they skip stuff to the point were it might be noticed. Like all of a sudden folks are together or in a place and they don’t go through how they got there. I do think having read the books makes it more of an issue but there is a guy who said he read the books through twice (no mean feet as there are a lot of them and each one is like a dictionary in size) and still likes it so I guess to each his own. That further being said my wife does not like it and she never read any of the books and loved the lord of the rings (which she had also never read). She won’t even watch it with me after season one although I don’t really encourage it since I watch and then complain about it to her.
You did better than me, I firmly gave up on it by the end of season one.
The Last of Us. I finished the first game this week so started the series, it’s pretty good. Easy 9/10
Watching Laverne & Shirley right now with my brother
I’ve just started sugar on apple which I like. It’s got Colin Farrel in it and it’s easy watching, kinda film noir style. I’ve just given up netflix so I finished girls5eva and bojack, both of which I really like.
I just started watching Parks and Rec for the first time. Just started season 2
Ate a gummy and watched Prey, that was something
All in all, a slow week for watching, but a busy one in every other way
Season 2 is loads better IMO they stopped trying to be the office.
That’s what I’ve heard, the spouse and I are giving season two a chance.
I will say in season 1 Leslie says her mom is as pretty as Margaret Thatcher and goddamn i belly laughed for a couple minutes on that one
Ha! I’m British so totally approve of that joke
My group of friends watched the new episode of Severance. We got more questions than answers lol.
Yeah, this is the Severance experience, I just hope they answer all the questions at the end, I don’t want to experience

Lost
Again.
I… guess I didn’t watch anything. My kids tend to monopoloze the TV
We just finished watching Dragon Ball Z Kai and are now on YuYu Hakusho.
Finished every season of Dexter.
- Dexter (8 seasons)
- Dexter New Blood (1 season)
- Dexter Original Sin (1 season)
Awaiting for the newest season, Resurrection.
Currently trying out SweetPea but it just seems not for me. Have watched 2 episodes but can’t really get into it. I will probably watch Jackal or Shogun instead.
Just started Deli Boys. Very funny.
I’ve not heard of that, what kind of humour is it?
I actually don’t agree with @socsa@piefed.social. It deals with relatively dark subject matter (drugs and murder—no sexual violence or anything like that), but I find it does it in a rather flippant way, and feels like quite an easy watch in the way Parks & Rec or Brooklyn Nine Nine were easy watches.
The basic premise is two Pakistani-American brothers’ father dies, and they discover he was a big-time mob boss dealing in drugs. One of the brothers is a bit of a drop kick, spending his days getting high. The other is very uptight and straight-laced, and wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps…or what he thought were his footsteps running a large deli empire. The two of them end up selected as co-“CEOs” of the drug business because they get chosen as a compromise between the two actual mobsters who were competing to be next leader. In the middle of all this, an FBI agent is trying to pin them with their connections to illegal drugs. But the FBI agent’s boss is a Gilderoy Lockhart type (if you’re familiar with Harry Potter) full of himself but actually totally incompetent.
It’s quite silly and absurd situational comedy, IMO.
Very dark
Pamfir, Wild Men, See How They Run and Last Night in Soho.
Call The Midwife!
And A Street Cat Named Bob. Very uplifting
